So sad a young kid with a lot of promise from the reports.

Yep very sad when I saw this news this morning.

When folk pass away young and unexpectedly, whether its an accident or illness, it really does make you realise how precious life is.

Live for today & enjoy life, you never know what's round the corner.

!!! My nexus 7 tablet (which I use atleast 3 hours a day)

Open the case on my desk while on the phone and I have a hair line crack running from top to pretty much bottom. Looks like an impact point at the top but i have NOT dropped it. Had it for 1-2 years and it is mint condition I really care for my electricals and have never dropped/smashed a device now this mystical crack appears absolutely no fault of my own. If I dropped it I wouldn't be so ****ed but its just appeared! I don't put anything heavy in my bag, just a hat, neck guard, work pass wallet etc.. I have it in a hard case/screen protector. I don't even let dust settle on my screen and now a crack! Its dead touchscreen spazzing out. Off to shops tonight to buy a new one £130+...

I'm afraid its Nexus 7 only. I use it to read manga primarily and I couldn't use anything else xd nothing compares for me. Comfort/Size/dpi wise Ill pick one up in a sale and sell mines for spares.

Yep, I agree with you Ritchie, why are people so naive about posting stuff on Faceache.

Hope the higher management don't see it.

Agreed!!

My gripe is all the bally adverts for an American thing that you know will be just **** over here. I cannot see any retailer giving 70% off like they do in USA.

I've received around 20 emails today from companies about their black Friday deals. Everyone from HMV to Lastminute.com to Air New Zealand. The joke is that some of the 'classic' albums HMV are saying are £3.99 in the deal were only £2.99 last month so they are ripping people off. I find the while thing very irritating. Christmas is bad enough without this nonsense on top.
